Famous TV actor Nishant Singh Malkani who is also part of Rahul Roy's upcoming film 'LAC-Live the Battle'. The 'Bigg Boss 14' contestant plays the role of an army officer in a movie. Nishant, while speaking to the same publication revealed, “It all happened on Tuesday. He was alright when we all went to sleep on Monday night. I think the weather got to him, it's extreme conditions out here in Kargil where we are shooting. The temperature is -15 degree centigrade. I cough blood every day, we are going up and down the mountains every now and then and the nose capillaries get torn. It would be the toughest shoot in anybody's life. But this film is an experience- it will be a one-shot 90 minute film.”

Giving an account on what exactly happened, Nishant told, “Rahul was a bit dull on Tuesday initially, and we suddenly observed that he was not able to deliver his dialogues. He was not forgetting them but he was groping for words to complete sentences, he just could not form sentences. Then, around evening, he started to behave little unusually, idhar udhar dekhne laga and we strongly sensed that something was wrong.”

Rahul also participated in the first season of the popular reality show 'Bigg Boss'. He defeated Ravi Kishan and Carol Gracis to lift the winner's trophy. The 'Dilwale Kabhi Na Hare' actor joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2017.
